I’ll never try to hide the fact that I’m often one to “jump the gun” on many-an-activity. Since third grade I’ve doing things like planning outfits for the first week of school a month in advance. The little quirk of mine has manifested itself in present day as an extreme excitement for seasonal baking!

So far this fall (all three days of it), I’ve experimented with a pumpkin bread, a pumpkin muffin, and a pumpkin cookie. I’m still working on the pumpkin bread and muffin, but boy do I love how fluffy and yummy these cookies turned out!…

I’m sure you’re all well aware by my recent posts that I’ve started a new semester at SDSU. I’m also sure most of you are are aware that I have literally the biggest sweet tooth in the world. Here today I have some Vegan Vanilla Muffins (made with Spaghetti Squash) that oddly encompass every theme in my life at the present moment (okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but hear my logic).

If you read my post about the Basics of Surviving in College as a Vegan, you know that eating on campus is both inevitable and probably in your best interest sometimes. Here I’ve laid out a San Diego State University specific guide for myself and all my fellow Aztecs, so we can eat ~freely~ and happily on campus, knowing that our next meal might not actually be as far away as we might think! 😉

Have you all heard about TURMERIC yet?! Well, if you haven’t, you must’ve been living under a rock, because it’s only one of the trendiest and most lovely superfoods of them all.

To be completely honest, I’ve 100% overlooked Turmeric in my diet up until about a week ago. Here’s the situation: One of my best friends, Micah, was visiting town the other week and was RAVING about how she had been taking Turmeric every day and how it was keeping her from having nail problems.

Y’all know I’m not usually about that store bought dressing life, but what happens when things get a little bit unconventional? I was looking to make something out of my usual comfort zone… something ITALIAN.

Maybe you’re tying to cut back on added fats, processed foods, or whatever- but this dressing if fabulous for you! It’s light but still tangy an very, very Italian. This dressing isn’t your traditional oil based dressing, but it sure will satisfy the flavors you’re craving….

It’s the prime of SUMMERTIME, and I’ve made it my mission to get on board the smoothie train. Specifically, the green smoothie train. Hey, why not try to soak in all the vitamins and minerals you can!?

If you’ve been reading my posts for a while (or go back in the archives literally at all), you know I’m a fan of simple and easy things. Veggie burgers are a classic simple and easy thing when it comes to prepping for meals in my book.

I can throw them on a bun, in a bowl (my favorite), or honestly just munch on them plain. It’s so easy to make customized and delicious veggie burgers at home instead of buying the store bought ones, like these fun DIY Black Bean & Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers….

Lately I’ve been asking people, in hopes to understand them better, “apples or bananas?” and “Why?” Most people’s answer to the “why” portion of the question involves something about taste, but in my opinion that’s the least important part about what separates the two fruits.

It’s that time of year again where anyone and everyone that looks like they might be of qualifying age gets the question: “When do you go back to school?”

I myself, am not yet immune to this question. Just because college may be more ~advanced~ form of education does not, in fact, mean that I’m without those very same first day jitters, wondering which one of my professors will be the grouchy one (Fingers crossed I get lucky this semester and don’t get one of those!).

Sustainability!
